I have been making A LOT of button brooches this week! Playing with new colour combination's has been like a breath of fresh air! I have a lot of plans for new stock and the biggest list of things to make and do before the baby arrives in July. I will be listing some of these new brooches on folksy and etsy over the next couple of days. Don't forget i am always more than happy to make up a custom brooch for you!

Heart Buttons?

The one I am tempted to keep. I love these colours together so much I'm planning a painting for my bedroom in them!

Just seeing how close I could get the camera to Ninjas face before he got pissed off and moved! Quite close was the outcome.

I'm not sure much longer Ninja will actually fit between the baby bump and the desk

Me and my 22 weeks pregnant baby bump. I'm getting rather large now. The baby has already started waking me up in the night kicking! Sleep deprivation is something I am going to struggle with. I will admit I am horrible to be around when I haven't had my sleep. Food I can go without all day but sleep...I'm like the walking dead, and the moody dead at that! I better start 'practicing' my cat naps.

About Me

Hello my name is Claire-Lou, making button jewellery is my full time job. I have a little boy who is 21 months old and when he sleeps I work! It's hard but I get to be a full time mum at home so its worth the late nights! I live in the hills of Rossendale, UK with my wonderful fiancé, our son Reuben and our nutty dog Nushka. I have been making button jewellery for 6 years now but its only been a full time business for 4 years. My blog is a diary of both my work and my home life. We are currently in the throws of renovating a very old cottage (1860) that we bought last summer.
Thanks for visiting my blog,I hope you enjoy it!
